The Rockies designated Justice for assignment Sunday.

The left-hander has been at Triple-A Albuquerque for the first few weeks of the season, but he's lost his place on the 40-man roster after giving up six earned runs with a 6:9 K:BB in his first five outings. Justice could remain with the Isotopes if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

The Rockies selected Agnos' contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

The right-hander was unable to secure a spot on Colorado's Opening Day roster but will get his first taste of the majors as Victor Vodnik (shoulder) heads to the injured list. Agnos posted a 1.38 ERA and 63:11 K:BB across 52.1 innings between the High-A and Double-A levels last year, and he's continued to pitch well at Triple-A early in 2025. He's recorded 46 saves during his minor-league career but will likely need to work his way into a high-leverage role for the Rockies.

The Rockies placed Vodnik on the 15-day injured list Sunday, retroactive to April 17, due to right shoulder inflammation.

The right-hander may have begun experiencing the inflammation following his last appearance Wednesday against the Dodgers, during which he struck out three and walked two in a scoreless inning. Vodnik and Seth Halvorsen have a save apiece for the Rockies this year, and the latter could see more chances while Vodnik is sidelined. Zach Agnos was added to the big-league roster in a corresponding move but is likely to fill a low-leverage role in his first stint in the majors.

Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that an MRI on Treinen's forearm showed a low-grade sprain, and the right-hander will begin a conservative rehab program, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

The 36-year-old landed on the injured list Saturday with a concerning diagnosis of forearm tightness, but the MRI indicates he's not dealing with a serious injury. Treinen will be eligible to return from the injured list in early May, though he could be sidelined a bit longer depending on the specifics of his rehab program. Tanner Scott should continue to operate as the Dodgers' main closer, with Kirby Yates and Evan Phillips potentially seeing some save chances while primarily working as setup men.

The Rockies recalled Hill from Triple-A Albuquerque to serve as the 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

The right-hander was unable to earn a spot on Colorado's Opening Day roster. but he'll join the big club for the twin bill and provide some bullpen depth. Hill has struck out 15 batters over 7.2 innings for Albuquerque this year, but he allowed four runs without recording an out in his last outing to inflate his ERA to 5.87.

Thielbar (1-0) tossed two scoreless innings of relief with a strikeout to earn the win in Saturday's 6-2 victory over the Diamondbacks.

Thielbar worked the fifth and sixth innings after starter Ben Brown covered the first four frames. That set the lefty reliever up for his first win in a Chicago uniform. Thielbar allowed two runs in his third appearance of the year, but since then, the veteran reliever has only allowed two total runs across 6.1 innings in seven appearances. His fantasy upside is limited, however, as a middle-relief option for the Cubs.

Suter will start Sunday's game against the Orioles, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

Sunday's previously scheduled starter Carson Spiers was needed to pitch Saturday and is now on the injured list with a shoulder issue, prompting the Reds to turn to Suter as an opener for the series finale in Baltimore. The left-hander has given up two earned runs with a 3:1 K:BB across 6.2 innings this season, and he should turn things over to the Cincinnati bullpen after an inning or two. Randy Wynne was added to the roster for Sunday's contest and is a candidate to work in bulk relief.

The Reds selected Wynne's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

The right-hander could provide some length behind opener Brent Suter versus the Orioles on Sunday, though the Reds haven't announced their pitching plans beyond Suter. Wynne has a 3.06 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 8:2 K:BB across 17.2 innings through four starts with Louisville this season, and if he does pitch Sunday, it will be his first big-league appearance since he made his debut in 2023.

Rogers picked up a hold in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Angels, pitching a perfect inning and striking out one.

Rogers entered the game in the eighth frame and retired the side, throwing eight of his 12 pitches for strikes. The veteran right-hander hasn't allowed a hit in his last three appearances, and he's been charged with only one earned run this season. Over 11 appearances in the 2025 campaign, Rogers has recorded a 0.87 ERA, 0.68 WHIP and a 9:2 K:BB with six holds across 10.1 innings.

Yates (1-1) allowed two runs on two hits without recording an out to take the loss and a blown save Saturday against the Rangers.

The right-hander entered to protect a 3-2 lead in the ninth inning against his former club, but a Josh Smith double and Adolis Garcia two-run homer quickly resulted in a walk-off win for the Rangers. It was the first save chance of the year for Yates, who entered the contest with six straight scoreless appearances and a 1.74 ERA for the season. Tanner Scott picked up his seventh save of the campaign in Friday's contest and should continue to operate as manager Dave Roberts' primary option at closer.
